Season 1950–51 was the 74th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 45th time, the Scottish Cup for the 56th time and the Scottish League Cup for the 5th time.

Overview

The league campaign looked to be following those of recent years, with the first win registered after 8 attempts, however a late burst of 5 wins in the final 6 games saw Dumbarton finish in a creditable 9th place (out of 16) with 29 points, 16 behind champions Queen of the South.

The Scottish Cup saw Dumbarton exit early to St Johnstone in the first round.

In the League Cup, qualification from the sectional games still proved a problem, finishing 4th and last, with a win and two draws being taken from their 6 games.

In the Stirlingshire Cup, Stirling Albion overcame Dumbarton in the semi final after two draws, but in a short-lived revival of the Stirlingshire Consolation Cup (a competition for those clubs eliminated early in the previous season's Stirlingshire Cup) Dumbarton finished as runners-up, again to Stirling Albion.

Note that William Irvine replaced William Guthrie as team manager at the beginning of the season.
